self and Secretary Lamar. He says: "On
October Z, 1887, two decisions Of the Sec.
retary were rendered in the Omaha cases,
non.concurring in my adjustments and
over-ruling the authority on which they
were based. He directed me at the same
time to have the grants adjusted in con-
iormity with said deoisionu. I now infer
from bis published letter that these decis-
ions we're not approved by the official law
adviser Of the Department Of the Interior"
After going into the details OF the case
he states that Mr.. Lsmar's letter applying
for review Of the formers decisions !;
that the issue is one Of law, but that Mr..
Lamar's letter has made 1t appear to be
one Of authority. The letter closes as
follows:
III these decisions foreshadow change
in official policy on this subject, knowing
we'll what this will mean in practical appli.
cation, 7 could not, of course, with my
sense Of duty, be tho ipstrument TO effect
the change. Having over, as now, regard.

ject to your recall, and desiring to relieve
you Of any possible embarrassment, I here,
with tender you my resignation Of the
office OF Commissioner of the General

And in thus severing my connection with
